Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, has appointed Bo Hines, the former Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council under President Donald Trump, as its Strategic Advisor for Digital Assets and U.S. Strategy. Hines, who stepped down from his White House role earlier in August 2025 after playing a key role in advancing the Genius Act, will lead Tether's expansion efforts in the United States. His responsibilities include coordinating policy engagement, regulatory compliance, and infrastructure development to support Tether's growth within the regulated U.S. stablecoin market. The appointment reflects Tether's intent to strengthen its U.S. strategy amid increasing scrutiny of digital assets and stablecoins. Hines' leadership experience in the U.S. administration and his involvement in digital asset innovation and regulatory frameworks are expected to enhance Tether's positioning in the U.S. market.
